Kadie recommends i-Track mentoring 

Published on 16 July, 2010 

Nursing lecturer Kadie Cheney says her volunteer involvement with The Smith Family's i-Track mentoring program has been a very worthwhile experience.

Rockhampton-based Kadie spends one hour each week chatting online with a Townsville high school student who is interested in a career in veterinary science.

"The chat-room for the program is hosted by The Smith Family and they provide initial training and well-developed resource materials," she said.

"It's a way of giving your wisdom and experience and providing another voice - who is not a parent or family member - to help the student talk about their way forward into a career.

"There's no personal details exchanged but the program helps to build the student's esteem and guides them with study and career choices."

CQUniversity supports the The Smith Family through a partnership now coordinated by the Student Support Centre.
